San Miguel de Sema, Colombia
Lake Fúquene
Lake Fúquene is a heart-shaped lake located in the Ubaté-Chiquinquirá Valley, part of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense, in the north of Cundinamarca, Colombia, at the border with Boyacá. The Andean lake, at an average altitude of 2,540 metres, was considered sacred in the religion of the Muisca who inhabited the area before the Spanish conquest of the Muisca in the 1530s. Due to drainage of the waters for agriculture and dairy farming, the lake levels have dropped drastically in recent years and many flora and fauna species have disappeared.
